Sorghum United, an international organization promoting sorghum and millets, has rebranded as the Sorghum United Foundation. This change reflects the organization's enhanced commitment to combating food insecurity through sustainable agricultural solutions.
The newly established 501(c)(3) status allows for tax-deductible donations, enabling the foundation to expand its global initiatives. CEO Nate Blum emphasized the significance of this transition, stating, "The rebranding to Sorghum United Foundation marks a pivotal milestone in our mission to save lives and improve livelihoods through sustainable agricultural practices."
Key focus areas for the foundation include:
Advancing regional projects, such as the 2025 'Field to Market' trials for sorghum and millets value chains in six countries across Asia and Africa.
Providing resilient food sources to communities facing food insecurity and climate change challenges.
Funding the growth of regional offices to enhance global impact.
The foundation's work centers on promoting sorghum and millets as drought-resistant, sustainable food sources. These crops are vital for millions in regions disproportionately affected by food insecurity and climate change.
By facilitating tax-deductible donations, the Sorghum United Foundation aims to increase its capacity to deliver meaningful and sustainable impact worldwide. This rebranding represents a significant step toward the organization's goal of ensuring no one goes hungry through the power of sustainable agriculture.
